                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, You are wisdom without end, mercy without limit, and 
strength beyond resistance. Lord, we glorify Your Name.
  Today, lead our lawmakers around the obstacles that hinder them from 
accomplishing Your purposes. Lord, guide them around the stumbling 
blocks of resentment, pessimism, and unbelief that impede legislative 
effectiveness. Help our Senators to live to honor You. Fill their hours 
with Your redeeming radiance and their hearts with Your peace. May they 
work to advance the influence of Your Kingdom.
  We pray, in Your loving Name. Amen.
